    Crystal Disk Info - Is it safe to use on a SSD Hard Drive?


    I did a search but couldn't find the answer I'm after.

    When CrystalDiskInfo is running does it continuously read/write anything to the hard drive, which from what I've read is not good for a SSD?
    On my previous laptop it had a normal HDD (first time using a SSD) and didn't think about how programs operated before.

  2. Crystal Disk Info can't detect my SSD's health

    Hi Everyone,

    I had a problem with my current Windows 10 v1809, before I'm using v1809, I'm using v1803 which still using SSHD and when I plug my new SSD M.2 NVME, Crystal Disk Info can detect my SSD's health normally. But after I re-install Windows 10 to v 1809 because
    I want to use it to my new SSD, Crystal Disk Info won't detect my SSD's health. But when I check using cmd (prefer to this link : https://sea.pcmag.com/gallery/20836/how-to-check-your-hard-drives-health),
    it said OK, and I already using for 7 months without any problem (I means for files and OS). So what is the problem and how to fix it?

    Hi,

    Don't worry with the third disk (only one sector reallocated is nothing), but the first has 28146 hours which is a long while...

    I suggest you to use another tool : Hard Disk Sentinel , which is much better than CrystalDiskInfo !

    CRYSTAL DISK INFO

    You need to run the HGST Fitness test on that last dive. Crystal Disk will give faults cautions on some drives

    https://www.hgst.com/support/hard-drive-support/downloads

    Always go to the manufacture of the drive to confirm tests, and always backup. Even on good drives
